There is also an opportunity all month long to enter for the chance to win two heavily discounted tickets to see HAMILTON! Attendees of the Meet and Greet event who purchase a bag of Adelaide’s Blend will receive two entries into the drawing. If you are unable to attend, you can share your purchase of Adelaide’s Blend on social media using #MyShotAtEpilepsy to receive one entry through April 30!

Don’t throw away your shot to see Miguel Cervantes from Chicago’s HAMILTON production on August 6!

Miguel will be:

• Singing the National Anthem
• Throwing a first pitch with his son Jackson
• Singing the 7th inning stretch

If you want something special this night, there are a limited number of VIP experience package tickets available for $50. The VIP experience is a Field Box seat ticket, hot dog and soda, a photo with Miguel and an autographed Hamilton playbill.

You only need to purchase a VIP ticket if you want the VIP option. If you are coming for the game and don’t want a VIP package you can purchase regular tickets.

If anyone in your group does NOT want the VIP ticket, you will need to order Field Box seats instead of the VIP option. For instance, if you are a group of four and two want VIP tickets and two do not, you’ll need to select two from the VIP drop down in the Field Box area and then two tickets from the Field Box seat drop down.

VIP entry is at 4:45pm. at Gate A.

Money raised from the VIP tickets will go to CURE.

Join The Hidden Truths Project as they honor Kelly and Miguel Cervantes at the Seventh Annual 1:26 The Art of Epilepsy. In the Spring of 2016, Kelly and Miguel’s daughter, Adelaide, was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. Since then, Miguel has used his platform as the lead in Chicago production of HAMILTON to spearhead the My Shot at Epilepsy fundraising campaign and began a local and national media tour telling their story and raising awareness and money for CURE.

This will be an evening of inspired artwork created by artists, who span the globe, linked by the common thread of epilepsy. The goal of the night is to provide a platform for this diverse population of individuals to let their voices be heard and their stories told. The art is a segment of their lives that they have complete control over. Something that is predictable. An achievement that can enable them to rise above this disorder. Although each of these artists stories’ are unique, their works become a collective force to combat the injustices, discrimination, and marginalization directed against these individuals, many who continue to live in the shadows of this diagnosis.

Hidden Truths Project’s 1:26 The Art of Epilepsy is extremely pleased to expand these artist’s voices to a national stage, in an effort to build a world of inclusivity, tolerance, and understanding. In collaboration with CURE, 1:26 The Art of Epilepsy will be showcased in Irvine, Chicago, San Francisco and Boston (2019).

The original art will be on display and available for sale the night of the event.
